Support Students’ Performance1. Introduction Project-based learning (PBL) coupled with design thinking has emerged as a transformative approachin education, particularly in disciplines like engineering and product design. This pedagogical modelencourages multidisciplinary collaboration among engineers and product designers, fostering creativity,innovation, and real-world problem-solving skills. However, the effectiveness of such collaborationshinges greatly on team dynamics and conflict resolution strategies. The integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) into project-based learningenvironments presents a promising avenue for improving both the efficiency and effectiveness of teamcollaboration. By leveraging its

In addition, she has developed methodologies around hidden
? Which pedagogyis preferable? Are some curriculum models better than others? Which works best---a requiredcourse, ethics-across-the-curriculum, integration of ethics with science, technology and societycourses, or integration of the liberal arts into the engineering curriculum [20, 21]? And, whichoutcome assessment methods are most suitable [22, 23]?Pfatteicher [24] has framed the educational ‘dilemma’ as how to provide meaningful ethics in-struction to all students without overburdening faculty, increasing graduation requirements, orremoving essential technical material from the curriculum. The ABET criteria call for ensuringthat students understanding rather than demonstrate ethical knowledge; i.e., students should beevaluated on their

As a result, we are told by participants, is the development of a uniquely safeenvironment in which ideas are shared more openly than in other settings faculty typicallyencounter. The faculty participate in a collaborative process designed to help them developcollaboration skills, an understanding of the learning process, and an appreciation for the needfor change in teaching content, approach, and curriculum. CCLE also provides a supportstructure through which changes can be implemented and innovative ideas supported on acontinuous basis6.The program has two stages of participation designed to provide a support structure for

According to National Center for Education Statistics [2], [3] of the share ofUS Citizens who graduated with a bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering in 2019 and 2020,56% were white males and only 14% were female. There is a need for more diversity in thespace industry and overall, more degrees in aerospace and related fields. SpaceLab* (SLI) wascreated to address these issues. The hope is that by creating accessible and interestingcoursework, students who would not otherwise be interested, learn about the opportunities andbenefits that exist in space-related careers. Literature suggests that engaging students in design-based science learning activities can help them develop problem-solving and science inquiryskills

Feedback from recent graduates speaks to the courses’ benefits both inwork experiences and in everyday life. “This is a ‘must-take’ course for engineering students.”“By far, after 4 years at (another Ivy university) and 3 at Penn, the best, most interesting anduseful class I have ever had.” “This is a demanding course, but well worth it.” “Hands down,the best class I’ve ever taken. I will refer back to it for the rest of my life.” Page 8.499.8 Proceedings of the 2003 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition Copyright

The pilot study not onlyallowed for implementation of new technology but also it allowed for a field test of the measurewith pilot study participants (69 students total) to ensure validity. A section of the assessmentincluded questions mirroring the ECAR Research Study 67 that examined student skill level

Furthermore, the University of Illinois joined the SUNYCOIL partner’s network over the 2020 summer to gain access to resources and tools to bestimplement COIL courses. In addition to COIL pedagogical training, a survey instrument was developed incollaboration with the Center for Innovation, Teaching and Learning at the University of Illinoisto develop and administer a pre-and post-survey assessment focused on measuring the studentlearning experience in the First-Year Experience electives with COIL projects.

Assessmentcourse, a great deal of emphasis is placed on Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) techniques.PRA (also known as probabilistic safety assessment) is used to predict the future behavior ofprocesses generally in terms of likelihood and outcome (severity). PRA has been used to assessthe designs of high hazard, complex, low risk systems (such as chemical manufacturing plantsand nuclear power plants). PRA examines events that contribute to adverse outcomes through theuse of event tree analysis and determines the likelihood of event occurrence through fault treeanalysis.4.3 Establishing and Upgrading LaboratoriesIt is believed that technology concepts are best learnt with hands-on activities.
